I don't think he discovered the conclusion per se. I think he discovered an analytical path to an already known/suspected conclusion via a novel application of cosmology math to planetary climate.
It’s been common knowledge in
atmospheric science for the past 20 years (based on personal knowledge, it’s probably decades longer). Not only does it shake out of climate models, but it’s intuitive that more heat to redistribute will increase the amplitude of all the wave-like properties of the atmosphere.
Let's not downplay the astronomical math involved and the contribution made by Albert here! Just because we "know" the solution doesn't mean it's not worth valuing putting in the work to prove the conclusion. Thanks Albert!
